Rick Rojatt

Rick Rojatt  is a Canadian stuntman, and the inspiration for the Human Fly comic book character.

Stunt career
Rojatt performed a 250 mph wing-walking stunt on top of a DC-8 airliner flown by Clay Lacy over the Mojave Desert and Texas, both in the United States.

In 1977, Rojatt contracted a hydrogen peroxide rocket-powered Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle to be built to jump 27 school buses at the Montreal Olympic Stadium during a Gloria Gaynor concert and beat Evel Knievel's record jump of 13 buses. Although he was able to beat the record, he crashed the motorcycle and suffered a broken ankle and some other injuries. He then retired from public life.
